Portugal has 720 MWh of battery capacity awaiting
The 48 battery containers planned at the project, which Hyperion submitted to the DGEG in 2019, would each contain 5,015 kWh
Portuguese energy giant GALP has announced construction of five battery projects, with a total capacity of 74 megawatts (MW), to store solar energy in Spain and Portugal.
The projects listed for public feedback on the government's consultation portal include two solar-plus-storage sites. Two solar-plus-storage projects are among five planned renewable energy sites whose details have been published for public consultation on the Portuguese Environment Agency's Participa portal.
The 48 lithium ferro-phosphate (LFP) battery containers, each with a storage capacity of 5,015 kWh, would be Sungrow's ST5015 kWh-2500 kW-2h products. Newcon40 applied to the to Portugal's Directorate-General for Energy and Geology (DGEG) for the 400 megavolt ampere (MVA) solar project in 2019.
The 48 battery containers planned at the project, which Hyperion submitted to the DGEG in 2019, would each contain 5,015 kWh of the same Sungrow products. The developer secured grid capacity for the solar-plus-storage project from REN in September 2023.
